Texans coach Bill O’Brien said there is a good chance three quarterbacks will make the team’s final cut.

O’Brien on the Texans’ current QBs:

On Savage’s poise

Savage is a poised guy. That was something that really stood out to us before the draft, that he was a guy that was honest, he was up front. He looked like a guy that had a calmness to him. I think you saw that tonight. Sometimes you want those guys to be a little bit more fiery at times. Overall he’s come in and not let the nerves get to him. He’s improved every day like I’ve said. Hopefully he continues to get better.”

On Savage’s ability to learn different systems

“I think he’s learned a lot. I think, in his own words when we talked to him before the draft, he talked about growing up and that he made some mistakes. He felt like he was better off for the learning experience that he went through, and I think that’s something that impressed both myself and [Quarterbacks Coach] George Godsey and [Executive Vice President/General Manager] Rick Smith, that he was a guy that was straight up ab out those things. He’s come in here and he’s worked real hard. He’s worked extremely hard, and like all the rookies, he’s kept his mouth shut and tried to learn and get better every day.”

On if Savage is the football-junkie that he was looking for

“All three of these guys, Ryan [Fitzpatrick], Case [Keenum] and Tom work extremely hard. They are three football junkies. They all three of them are in there early. They are meeting on their own. The other night we gave them the night off and I know Ryan sat in there and met for a while with those guys. They watch tape on their own. They come in at six in the morning and watch tape on their own. They stay late after practice. They stay after practice on the field and throw; all of them. As far as that goes, you can’t ask for more as far as what they’re doing and how they prepare.”

On what he’s learned about Savage so far that was not known before

“In the draft process you get to know them a little bit. But I don’t think you really get to know them until you’re meeting with them every day and around them all the time. I’m learning something new about all these guys. I’ve been around these guys for a while, but I’ve been around them in true-competition now for only the last three games. I learn a lot about everybody every time we go out.”

On all three quarterbacks

“They are all three competitive. I don’t think I would say anything different about any of them when it comes to the competition. I think they are all three really good teammates. They communicate well. They support each other, which is pretty cool to see. They compete against each other on the field. They all want to do well. They all want to win the number two job or win the number one job. They are all competitors. They all work very hard. But off the field, they seem to fit well together in a meeting room. I think a lot of that has to do with Ryan Fitzpatrick. He’s a really good person, good teammate, works extremely hard, he’s taken a leadership role on this team and I think that helps the whole room.”

On Keenum’s performance

“I thought he did some decent things. We moved the ball, probably not the way he wanted too. We didn’t finish with a touchdown there. But I think he did some good things. I think he’s a guy that just really wants to be good. He works hard to be good and it’s fun to coach a guy like that. I saw, just like with all the players out there, some good and some not so good. I think he’s improving also.”

On the chance of three quarterbacks making the cut

“There’s a good chance that we would carry all three. There’s a good chance for that.”
